ARK!  hark,  my  soul ;  angelic  songs 
are  swelling 

O’er  earth’s  green  fields  and  ocean’s 
wave-beat  shore: 

How  sweet  the  truth  those  blessed 
strains  are  telling 

Of  that  new  life  when  sin  shall  be 
no  more. 

Angels  of  Jesus,  Angels  of  Light, 

Singing  to  welcome  the  pilgrims  of  the  night. 


QNWARD  we  go,  for  still  we  hear  them  singing, 
“Come,  weary  souls,  for  Jesus  bids  you  come:” 
And,  through  the  dark  its  echoes  sweetly  ringing, 
The  music  of  the  gospel  leads  us  home. 


Angels  of  Jesus,  Angels  of  Light, 

Singing  to  welcome  the  pilgrims  of  the  night. 


AR,  far  away,  like  bells  at  evening 
pealing, 

The  voice  of  Jesus  sounds  o’er  land 
and  sea, 

And  laden  souls  by  thousands  meekly  stealing, 
Kind  Shepherd,  turn  their  weary  steps  to  Thee. 


Angels  of  Jesus,  Angels  of  light, 

Singing  to  welcome  the  pilgrims  of  the  night 


N  G  E  L  S  sing  on!  your  faithful  watches 
keeping; 

Sing  us  sweet  fragments  of  the  songs 
above, 

Till  morning’s  joy  shall  end  the  night  of 
weeping 

And  life’s  long  shadows  break  in  cloudless 
love.  ...

Rev.  FREDERICK  W.  FABER, 


If  I  say,  Surely  the  darkness 
shall  cover  me ;  even  the  night 
shall  be  light  about  me. 

/\ 

J  E  A,  the  darkness  hideth  not  from  thee ;  but 
the  night  shineth  as  the  day :  the  darkness  and 
the  light  are  both  alike  to  thee. 


H  Y  art  thou  cast  down,  O  my  soul? 
and  why  art  thou  disquieted  within 
me  ?  hope  thou  in  God :  for  I 
shall  yet  praise  him,  who  is 
the  health  of  my  countenance, 
and  my  God.

ISA.  XLII:  16, 


T  evening  time  let  there  be  light, 
Life’s  little  day  draws  near  its  close; 
Around  me  fall  the  shades  of  night, 
The  night  of  death,  the  grave’s  repose, 
To  crown  my  joys,  to  end  my  woes  ; 
At  evening  time  let  there  be  light. 


T  evening  time  let  there  be  light. 


Stormy  and  dark  have  been  my 
days, 

Yet  rose  the  morn  divinely  bright; 

Dews,  birds,  and  blossoms  cheered  the  way; 

Oh,  for  one  sweet,  one  parting  ray! 

At  evening  time  let  there  be 
light. 


T  EVENING  time  there  shall  be 

light!  ^  ^ 

For  God  hath  spoken  fy*** 
it  must  be; 

Fear,  doubt  and  anguish  take  their 
flight; 

His  glory  now  is  risen  on  me; 

ine  eyes  shall  His  salvation  see, 

Tis  evening  time,  and  there 
is  light.

N  D,  lo,  the  star,  which  they 
saw  in  the  east,  went  before 
them,  till  it  came  and  stood 
over  where  the  young  child 
was.  When  they  saw  the 
star,  they  rejoiced  with 
exceeding  great  joy. 

MATT.  II:  9,  io.

in  a.  pillar  of  a  cloud,  to  lead  them 
the  way;  and  by  night  in  a  pillar 
fire,  to  give  them  light.  EX  xiii:  2I. 


HEN  spake  Jesus  again  unto 
them,  saying,  I  am  the  ligh 
of  the  world:  he  that  followet 
me  shall  not  walk  in  darkness,

D ,  kindly  Light !  amid  th’  encircling 
gloom ; 

Lead  Thou  me  on; 

The  night  is  dark,  and  I  am  far 
from  home; 

Lead  Thou  me  on; 


Keep  Thou  my  feet;  I  do  not  ask  to  see 
The  distant  scene;  one  step  enough  for  me. 


U-  OF  ILL.  LIB. 


Y  WAS  not  ever  thus,  nor  prayed 
that  Thou 

A  Shouldst  lead  me  on; 

I  loved  to  choose  and  see  my  path; 
but  now 

Lead  Thou  me  on! 

I  loved  the  garish  day,  and  spite  of  fears, 


Pride  ruled  my  will:  Remember  not  past  years! 


long  Thy  power  hath  bless’d  me,  sure  it 
still 

Will  lead  me  on 

O’er  moor  and  fen,  o’er  crag  and  torrent, 
till 

The  night  is  gone; 

And  with  the  morn  those 
angel  faces  smile 


Which  I  have  loved  long  since, 
and  lost  awhile!

Oh,  let  no  earth-born  cloud  arise, 

To  hide  Thee  from  Thy  servant’s  eyes!

Abide  with  me  when  night  is  nigh, 
For  without  Thee  I  dare  not  die.

With  blessings  from  Thy  boundless  store;

Ere  thro’  the  world  our  way  we

lengthen 

Across  this  little  landscape  of 
our  life; 

We  would  see  Jesus — our  weak  faith 
to  strengthen, 

For  the  last  weariness,  the  final 
strife. 


'yyE  would  see  Jesus — the  great 
Rock  foundation, 


Whereon  our  feet  were  set  with  sovereign 
fifrace : 


Not  life,  nor  death,  with  all  their 
agitation, 

Can  thence  remove  us  if  we  see 
His  face. 


E  would  see  Jesus — other  lights 
are  fading, 

Which  for  long  years  we  have 
rejoiced  to  see ; 


The  blessings  of  our  pilgrimage  are  failing, 

We  would  not  mourn  them,  for  we  go  to 
Thee. 


E  would  see  Jesus— this  is  all  v 
we’re  needing, 

Strength,  joy  and  willingness 
come  with  the  sight; 

We  would  see  Jesus,  dying,  risen, 
pleading, 

Then  welcome  day,  and 
farewell  mortal 
night !
